Trade Week - Offers and Confirmation

[law78]

I swear, if this trade goes through I wouldn't even bother watching a game next year.

Someone please tell me this is some rumour created on BF or SEN

Deadly - I totally agree with you. Over the way we recruit. Let's do a Hawthorn and Geelong. Trade our stars that 2 or 3 years left. Recruit kids that we can have in the system for 10 years and allow for 3 years of disappointment.

Pick 16 + (another pick/player) seems eminently fair for ROK in this market - so really the only question is whether 16 for Green is appropriate given we don't really have anything else to offer. He's a very good footballer - doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

[Robbo]

I think we should forget about Melbourne and Brad Green. Just worry about Hawthorn.

1st trade.

Adam Thomson(PA) -> Tigers (3rd rnd pick(#42))

Official 1st trade

I just hope we trade ROK for pick 16 and Boyle or Thorp and forget about Green he is old and rubbish and we ae in a transitional period so lets forget aboout Green.
How can we and all the other AFL clubs let Hawthorn thee premiers get a player as good as ROK and Geelong get Lovett does anyone want to have a crack at the flag in the next 3 years or just let Hawthorn and Geelong fight it out.
LettingROK go to Hawthorn is a bad move for Collingwood and Carlton

Isn't Green younger than ROK?

I think the point is why trade O'Keefe for Green when we could be building for the future? Not to mention O'Keefe is a better footballer so it'd be a downgrade on what we had before.

Pick 16 and Thorp has to be what we're aiming for.

[Robbo]

It's pretty obvious that ROK only wants to go to Hawthorn because he wants to play in another premiership.

When Carltank were interested earlier in the week he put a massive price tag on his head, now that they're out of the race, he is willing to take a pay cut to play at Hawthorn.

My gut feeling is that we will get pick 16 and Boyle. I highly doubt we will get 16 and Thorp.

I'll take a 2nd rounder and Thorp.

Brad Green was born 13/3/1981 and ROK was born 24/1/81 so yeah he is younger by a couple of months.
Play hardball 16 and Thorp would be a good result out of a bad situation

[Robbo]

I'll take a 2nd rounder and Thorp.

Me too. But I don't think Maxfield will.

FOOTBALLERS ONLY , not Knobs !

[Mr Magoo]

Funny if you played your cards right and targeted the right proven players , there could be some real bargains on the trade table over the next twenty four hours.

I reckon that a few clubs may have taken this approach which is why no one wants to make the first move.

I also believe that people are putting way too much currency in low draft picks . It would probably be easier to get a low draft pick off the gold coast for a player like Okeefe next year then it would off the remaining clubs this year.

Heres a suggestion, trade o keefe for two young players and a second round pick and let Hawthorne keep precious number 16. (I dont know any of them but it seems that thorpe and boyle /dolwer would be worthwhile from peoples comments here).
